Talk:Larkhall

Sectarian?
Please can we stop adding in stuff about the locals hating Hamilton, hating Celtic supporters and any other opinions you may have about Larkhall. This in an encyclopaedia, just add the facts and keep it objective. --82.40.48.51 10:34, 8 Sep 2004 (UTC)


 * Page on The Indepenent about the local aversion to green and its connotations - http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/this-britain/scottish-town-where-green-is-beyond-the-pale-981747.html. If I had the time, I'd update the article, maybe adding a section regarding local opinion and sectarianism, referencing that, and multiple other news sites readily available. It's not like there's a shortage of them. So while it may not be particularly nice, Larkhall's ingrained sectarian streak is still a fact.

fair enough but larkhall has and always will have the attitude and behavior you are objecting.

Who every did the map put larkhall miles south of it should be

It is a well known fact that Larkhall is a Rangers FC favoured town. I dont see the problem in mentioning this as it does no harm and causes no offence. The article about Croy refers to the village being a catholic town and the vast majority of residents being supporters of Celtic. So why cant we do the same thing for larkhall expept for it being a Rangers town. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Danny 1873 (talk • contribs) 22:28, 1 October 2010 (UTC)

Danny 1873 - thankfully Wikipedia requires stronger evidence for material than purely opinion which your post above is full of. There is no such thing as a 'Catholic town'. It doesn't exist in any legal or factual fashion and is merely an opinion on presumably the majority religion. Even if we took that to be a justifiable reason to make comment on it in Wikipedia (which it isn't) I'd question the validity of it and would like to see the publish census that confirms the claim. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Theiconicman (talk • contribs) 14:48, 22 September 2011 (UTC)


 * user:Tip2tail and anon editors have removed coverage of this.  However, there are multiple press reports in WP:RS of the aversion to green, e.g. Independent, Herald, Scotsman. It seems to me that this is therefore sufficiently notable to be covered here. – Fayenatic  L ondon 16:03, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
